ExpressCard™
The conga-TS87 supports the implementation of ExpressCards, which requires the dedication of one USB port or a x1 PCI Express link for each
ExpressCard used.
6.1.9
Graphics Output (VGA/CRT)
The conga-TS87 provides an analog VGA display interface on the AB connector. The VGA display interface is supported on the PCH even
though the main display engine is in the processor. The display engine sends display data over to the PCH via the Intel FDI - a bus connecting
the processor and the PCH display components.
The analog VGA display interface has a RAM-based Digital-to-Analog Converter (RAMDAC) that transforms the digital data from the graphics
engine to analog data for the VGA monitor. The 180 MHz RAMDAC supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolutions at 60 Hz refresh rate.
6.1.10
LVDS/eDP
The conga-TS87 offers an LVDS interface with optional eDP overlay on the AB connector. The LVDS/eDP interface is by default configured to
provide LVDS signals. The interface can optionally support eDP (assembly option). For more information, contact congatec technical center.
The single/dual channel LVDS interface is provided through an integrated eDP to LVDS bridge device. The eDP to LVDS bridge processes
incoming DisplayPort stream and converts the DP protocol to LVDS, before transmitting the processed stream in LVDS format. The bridge
supports single and dual channel signalling with color depths of 18 bits or 24 bits per pixel and pixel clock frequency up to 112 MHz.
Note
The LVDS/eDP interface supports either LVDS or eDP signals. Both interfaces are not supported simultaneously.
6.1.11
General Purpose Serial Interface
Two TTL compatible two wire ports are available on Type 6 COM Express modules. These pins are designated SER0_TX, SER0_RX, SER1_TX
and SER1_RX. Data out of the module is on the _TX pins. Hardware handshaking and hardware flow control are not supported. The module
asynchronous serial ports are intended for general purpose use and for use with debugging software that make use of the “console redirect”
features available in many operating systems.
Note
The conga-TS87 supports two UART interfaces on revision B.0 and later. These interfaces are provided on the AB connecter via single-chip
USB to dual UART bridge. They do not support legacy COM port emulation and console redirection.
